Lighthouse in Advanced Mode

Geekflare Lighthouse API can accept the following parameters.

--screenEmulation
--screenEmulation.disabled
--emulatedUserAgent
--only-audits
--only-categories
--throttling-method
--extra-headers
--chrome-flags
--no-emulatedUserAgent
--blocked-url-patterns
--output
--preset

In order to use these parameters, pass them in a parameters JSON array in the request body payload. Let’s explore some of the examples. Run only SEO audit

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "parameters": [
      "--only-categories=seo"
  ]
}

Save output in HTML format

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "parameters": [
      "--output=html"
  ]
}

Run a single audit

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "parameters": [
      "--only-audits=image-alt"
  ]
}

Run Lighthouse using Proxy

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "proxyCountry": "fr",
    "parameters": [
      "--only-categories=seo"
  ]
}

Disable Mobile Emulation and Throttling

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "device": "desktop",
    "parameters": [
      "--output=html",     
      "--screenEmulation.disabled",      
      "--no-emulatedUserAgent",     
      "--throttling-method=provided"
  ]
}

You can also use multiple parameters

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "parameters": [
      "--only-categories=seo",
      "--output=html"
  ]
